Riva successfully launches the first Riva 88 Folgore at La Spezia facility

Hitting the waters for the first time on May 25th 2020, the new Riva 88 Folgore marked the first launch from the Ferretti Group member's shipyard since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Presented during the 2020 Boot Dusseldorf event, the 26.8 metre motoryacht is the latest addition to the Riva Sportfly range.

Featuring collaborative design work from Officina Italiana Design, the Ferretti Group Engineering Department and Product Strategy Committee, the striking new Riva yacht draws inspiration from the automotive industry. 

Showcasing sporty aesthetics, the new arrival from Riva is now the largest model available from the Sportfly range. 

Riva 88’ Folgore looks like a vessel just back from a journey into the future: she is a dazzling flash of style, she is strength, she is performance, she is innovation.

Integrated with a redesigned stern concept, the transom swings out in to two positions which are parallel to the water's surface and immersed, acting as an efficient tender launch and retrieval system.

Combined with the superstructure, the Riva 88 Folgore encompasses an opening glass hardtop which reveals an open flybridge arrangement, plus an electronic marble top over the cockpit. 

Interiors throughout the Riva model include materials of wood, steel, marble and glass, and a galley which is advertised as having its own dedicated entrance.

For overnight accommodation, up to eight guests can be accommodated onboard the Riva 88 Folgore in a composition of four cabins. 

A VIP in the bow and two double cabins with their own ensuites have been announced, along with a master suite promising three layout options yet to be revealed by the Italian shipyard.
